Wow that looks actually real nice far better then expected from the early pics. I have seen.

Thanks for amazing pictures wookster.

Now I’m really excited to get this in hand.

Received my bust today, I'll have pictures later. Very cool for what it costs, I've spent the same on GG mini busts that don't look as nice. Nice that they gave the neck some articulation, but it seems a bit wasted in the end, his neck muscles are sculpted to have the face looking towards his right, it would have made the articulation more useful if the neck were sculpted straight on; if you turn his head to his left, it looks awkward. The portrait is just stunning, the texture is nicely pronounced and Yulli's got Stallone's face nailed, she could probably do it in her sleep. Mouth could have been a bit more stern-faced like the Rambo 3 figure, that's my only sculpt wise. It's perfect anatomically, just choice of expression could have been a little different. I've removed the necklace on mine though, it adds a little something to the overall look, but I prefer it gone because Rambo gave it away before tearing his shirt off to heal his wounds. The skin on the shoulders and chest is great, even the veins have a coloration to them, really top notch. The only reason anyone would ever think the bust was cheap is if they picked it up and felt how light it was because it's plastic or if they saw the seam from the head, otherwise, this thing will look high end on your shelves. I still think the stand is too basic for how high it is, but the height is nice, I'm glad they did that, just wish there was a bit more to it, but I am ok with it now that I have it in hand and see it used to display the piece. I'll have pictures later, love shooting Yulli Stallone portraits.

You know, I'm curious about how true 1/4 scale this is. I put it up to my Darth Maul PF, which is theoretically 1/4 scale, and it's smaller. The head with a full head of hair is just about the same size as Maul's bald head. Seems like either Rambo is more like 1/5 scale, or Maul is more like 1/3.5 scale. Anyway, onto pictures, Yulli rocks at Rambo. I'd love to see a RAMBO bust given how nice this is, like he is at the end of RAMBO looking out over the battlefield. Figure is my primary goal, but I'd be happy to get a bust too, anything from the last movie like this would be nice to have.
